NEW 3M™ Metalworking Belts

With the new revolutionary Cubitron™ II Abrasives Belts, 3M has
rewritten the rules for speed, consistency and abrasive life. Made
with precisely shaped, self-sharpening triangles of ceramic aluminum
oxide, Cubitron™ II belts are designed to fracture as they wear,
continuously forming new, super-sharp points and edges that slice
cleanly through like knives. This keeps the workpiece cooler, reducing
heat-related stress cracks and discoloration.
